because america has millions of az vaccines that it isn't using.
DO PEOPLE SEEM TO FORGET???

That's because America was proactive in securing vaccines and deals. AZ isn't filing the paperwork, what the fuck you want them to do? Send them to other countries then get an IOU?

And that's worth hundreds of thousands of people dying?

I mean, they are only brown people, which in the eyes of the US makes them barely people at all.

India should help themselves more

This was probably intended to be sarcastic, but its actually correct.

Corrupt Indian politicians and higher ups gave away their vaccines to other countries for their own personal gain. Giving vaccines to their own citizens didnt provide incentives for them.

Now they want to blame America. Fuck them.

You should look into the Indian Caste system that still permeates all levels of Indian society.
That type of prejudice and complete disregard for hundreds of millions of their own lower caste or poorer citizens has been a feature of Indian goverments for decades.
This has led directly to the appalling crisis we are seeing today
Stop reflexively blaming America for the internal problems in other countries.

"Racism Is okay because there's worse racism elsewhere "

What utterly pathetic logic

Yeah let's just ignore the fact that America has started sending vaccines to Mexico. But that's just America hating brown people right?

Indias corruption and complete disregard for hundreds of millions of its own poor citizens due in large part to the horrific caste system based on racism is Americas fault how exactly?

How is the Modi goverment only giving the vaccine to the richest Indian class and then selling of tens of millions of doses and the materials to make more to richer countries to line their own pockets Americas fault?

Is America racist for not jerpodizing the health of its citizens by sending vaccines to a country and government who have sold of their own stocks and means to produce more to the highest bidders?

Why should America put the health of Indians first when their own elected government won't even do that?

Try and actually understand the sitiuation before commenting.

Also the reasoning of Modi hates lower castes so no one else should help them either is just about the most fucked up logic imaginable. Try applying that logic to World War II and see how it sounds.

How is it our responsibility to prioritize another country and their citizens at the expense of the health of our own.
When the goverment of the country won't even do that?
The Indian goverment are waiting for us and the rest of the world to send them vaccines and raw materials for nothing to replace the ones they sold to line their own pockets.
Why the fuck should we do that?

Giving India access to raw materials isn't any real expense to Americans when we have tens of millions of stockpiled doses (many of which we haven't and aren't likely to approve)

Except we already have those materials earmarked to produce vaccines for other countries who are also in need as per international agreements we made.
And if we do give India access to these materials(,at the expense of others)what's to say the government and companies sell them abroad again or hoard them and then sell them of inside India to the highest bidders?
You think we just give the Indian government these materials and they'll automatically distribute it to those most in need?
Most of you don't understand India at all.

Which raw materials? What effect would giving them away have on our own vaccine production?

There is a part of me that thinks that this is mostly just India looking for a scapegoat.

Conservatives were wrong. He isnt a globalist

Like even if you're brainless and don't think the US should send vaccines to other countries you shouldn't be against making the knowledge of how to produce the vaccine publically available. The longer countries like India or those in Africa go without access to a vaccine then the longer the pandemic will last.

So doing more of the shit we've already been doing

She said the US had already provided India with $1.4bn in health assistance, emergency relief supplies, pandemic training for Indian state and local health officials, and ventilators.

Yeah the Indian goverment have spun this into a victory for themselves to distract from their own criminal mishandling of the sitiuation and somehow shift the blame onto America.
CE peeps eating it up left,right and center.

I cant believe posters on here were actually defending not helping. Makes me sick

Fauci says we should be helping, if he says it what argument is there against it?

Biden is great. He is doing what is best for all.

Thats not true. Its so easy to despise Trump - at least use the countless other accurate examples to do so.

The man that didnt even have a vaccine rollout plan and Biden had to make one after he got in office?
